    being immediatly visited by the feds because your chinese made gpu doesn't have a backdoor (for them) and the NSA Panopticon throws up an error

    God I hate that this sounds like the most crank shit imaginable and yet it's still not

      probably instead soon you're going to have GPUs that spend insane amounts of energy to make sure you're not looking at movies/tvshows/porn/non-christian youtubers without paying the specific extra subscription and old/blackmarket GPUs end up really expensive.

      Years ago, there was some weird glitch on the NSA's software where it wouldn't work without one particular American-made GPU part, but they just kept it in without bothering to look at it, because the two manufacturers are already American anyways? But then it becomes a problem when China puts their hat in the ring, and there's so much spaghetti code they can't possibly find the source of the problem. Lathing it.

        This is the real reason they're putting so much into AI, to clean up their sloppy spaghetti code

          This is actually real in graphics programming for video games right now. Studios are just relying on AI upscaling and frame generation so they can cut time and money on actual optimization.

          inshallah

          Using AI to refactor a complicated code base would be the funniest shit ever
